Hayden Park Apartments
The Hayden Park Apartments are located less than five miles north of the Arizona State University Tempe campus, but they have a Scottsdale, Arizona, address. The most direct route to campus is southbound on North Hayden Road. The street name will change to North McClintock Drive after you cross over Tempe Town Lake, also known as the Salt River. Turn left on University Drive to enter the eastern side of campus.
If you prefer to enter campus from the north, you can take East Thomas Road to the AZ-101 loop going south. Get off at North Scottsdale Road and go straight until you enter campus. This is the best route if you’re headed to the Wells Fargo Arena for an event or one of the university ball fields. This is also convenient for athletes, band members and coaches who may spend a lot of time at the northern practice fields.
For those often traveling outside of the Tempe area, these apartments are close to the 101 and 202 loops. These freeways will lead you out of town in any direction. The commute to downtown Phoenix is approximately 30 minutes in light traffic.

It takes over an hour to walk to the ASU campus from the Hayden Park Apartments, and public transportation can take up to an hour for a one-way trip.
